Summary

Embarking on a gap year during my studies in Mechanical Engineering with Aeronautics, my journey is anchored in the steadfast pursuit of my ultimate goal—to become an airline pilot. Joining the role of an airline dispatcher represents a pivotal step in gaining invaluable experience within the aviation industry during this period. Eager to absorb intricate details of aircraft operations, enhance my understanding of aviation regulations and contribute analytical and problem-solving skills, I see this opportunity as a vital bridge propelling me toward my envisioned career in the cockpit.

In the dynamic world of professional sim-racing, I've demonstrated adept teamwork, strategic thinking and the ability to thrive under high-stress conditions.

Drawing from my experience as a kitchen porter, I've developed real-world skills in dealing with people and managing dynamic situations. This experience has honed my time management, adaptability, and teamwork skills, which are invaluable in the fast-paced and ever-changing environment of aviation operations.

My academic journey in engineering alongside aeronautics has equipped me with valuable theoretical knowledge pertinent to the aviation industry. Furthermore, participating in Formula Student projects has strengthened my teamwork abilities and heightened my understanding of operational dynamics.


A passion for aviation instills in me a deep respect for safety and adherence to regulations. Recognizing the significance of rule compliance, I understand the potential consequences of any infringement. This commitment aligns with the stringent safety standards of Jet2. As I pursue a role in airline dispatch, my dedication to upholding industry rules is unwavering, ensuring a steadfast focus on safety and regulatory compliance.

With a commitment to continuous learning and development, I am excited to contribute to the airline's success by delivering excellent service that not only meets customer needs but also aligns with the values and standards upheld by the organization. I am dedicated to growing in these roles, ensuring a positive impact on the airline's operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
